Hotel suit begun jury in accident disagrees
Damage suit for five thousand dollars against Capitol Hotel company by J C Abercrombie of Clovis New Mexico began in Federal district court this morning. A jury failed to agree in the suit of Mrs Frank Raef of St Francis for twenty five thousand dollars from James M Johnson of Clovis New Mexico for injuries in an accident involving one of Johnsons trucks. Raef was awarded two thousand dollars in the same accident by a jury just before his wifes suit was heard. The Abercrombie suit stems from an incident at checkout when the Abecrombies were told to stay after leaving with their luggage and were followed to the station by a house detective who then brought them back to the hotel.
